Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Good trip that met our expectations. Took short recommended route to Kulala. Returning to Windhoek via D1265. Spectacular! Would recommend this only going up to pass and not coming down! Really lets you experience the Escarpment.

Kulala well situated and really gives you a "feel" for the Namib.

The travel book is excellent and where I first heard of Expert Africa." Read full review: 3 nights in Africa; 3 on a Namibia trip

"The game viewing exceeded our expectations, the camps were excellent and it was a wonderful holiday. A real bonus was the fact that you can go on night drives with a spotlight in Zambian Natiional Parks. This makes for an excellent, full and diverse second half of the day with, typically, a 2 hour afternoon game drive, sundowner drinks and then an hour's night drive. We saw a lot of nocturnal creatures including white tailed mongoose, genets, civets, hyenas and bushbabies." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"Brilliant memorable holiday!

Highly recommend Expert Africa - their advice and experience was invaluable. We had so many changes and they were extremely patient with us and making sure we were happy with the final itinerary. Tom was brilliant - really appreciated his help in sorting out the trip and answering all my questions.

We normally book our own trips and this is the first time we have used a travel expert and were very extremely happy with the excellent service provided! Will certainly consider them for future trips!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 6 on a Namibia trip

"WE both had a wonderful time
This trip we spent most of our time in etosha
we were in the park from 7am till 5 pm we had a picnic in one of the camps under a tree everyday
with coffee and sandwiches from our lodges and all of them gave them with no charge what about that
we saw some fantastic wildlife again and some fantastic birding we even saw a batalaur eagle doing his
tightrope walk near a waterhole
On this trip we were looked after like royals at every place we stayed at
it truly was a wonderfull trip and we both enjoyed every second" Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

"Amazing. Our first safari so difficult to have expectations, but they would have been exceeded.

Expert Africa very helpful in helping us decide on the holiday and in making all the arrangements. Megan Ingoldby started the dialogue before she went off on maternity leave.

"An outstanding trip. We may have been lucky in having both camps almost to ourselves but even without this I am sure we would have had the unhurried, individually tailored and thoughtful introduction to safari that we were looking for.

All arrangements worked well, any unexpected issues were dealt with quickly and with no fuss, and overall we had confidence that we could get on with enjoying ourselves." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Expert Africa delivered, as always.

We arrived at an interesting and diverse itinerary, and all of the logistics worked well. We would thoroughly recommend a trip to the Kgalagadi, especially if you have been to Africa before and seen the usual animals, and now want something a little different in terms of the scenery and wildlife."

"'Very satisfactory' just doesn't cut it. It was a magical experience.

The reason for the trip was to see the annular eclipse - which was breathtaking - but that turned out to be just one element of a very special trip." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Mozambique holiday

"We went for the eclipse, as much as the safari and we were not disappointed on either front.

The itinerary was perfect with a mix of what felt an authentic bush safari experience and a dash of more luxury towards the end. We found were were more comfortable with the bush than anything else & that was a wonderful revelation.

Expert Africa (Liz in particular) were a remarkably efficient and knowledgeable team - questions were answered swiftly, despite booking flights outside of Expert Africa, they were still happy to help me negotiate flight changes with my agent......over & above.

Other questions were also answered swiftly, and the one 'problem' was dealt with quickly & professionally.
